More quotes by George R. R. Martin
We all need to be mocked from time to time, lest we take ourselves too seriously.
George R. R. Martin
If a man paints a target on his chest, he should expect that sooner or later someone will loose an arrow on him.
George R. R. Martin
An artist has an obligation to tell the truth. [...] that the true horrors of human history derive not from orcs and Dark Lords, but from ourselves. We are the monsters. (And the heroes too). Each of us has within himself the capacity for great good, and great evil.
George R. R. Martin
The old man laid a withered, spotted hand on his shoulder. It hurts, boy, he said softly. Oh, yes. Choosing . . . it has always hurt. And always will. I know.
George R. R. Martin
We know truth for the cruel instrument it is. Beauty is infinitely preferable to truth.
George R. R. Martin
I've always preferred writing about grey characters and human characters. Whether they are giants or elves or dwarves, or whatever they are, they're still human, and the human heart is still in conflict with the self.
George R. R. Martin
Better to mock the game than to play and lose.
George R. R. Martin
All my life men like you've sneered at me, and all my life I've been knocking men like you into the dust.
George R. R. Martin
I heard of a man who had a razor made of Valyrian steel. He cut his head off trying to shave.
George R. R. Martin
Half-truths are worth more than outright lies.
George R. R. Martin
The man who passes the sentence should swing the sword. Look her in the eyes before you kill her. See her tears, hear her last words. You owe her that much at least. - Eddard Stark
George R. R. Martin
The worst isn't done. The worst is just beginning, and there are no happy endings. (Samuel Tarly)
George R. R. Martin
Weese, she would whisper, first of all. Dunsen, Chiswyck, Polliver, Raff the Sweetling. The Tickler and the Hound. Ser Gregor, Ser Armory, Ser Ilyn, Ser Meryn, King Joffrey, Queen Cersei.
George R. R. Martin
You were made to be kissed, often and well.
George R. R. Martin
You could make a poultice out of mud to cool a fever. You could plant seeds in mud and grow a crop to feed your children. Mud would nourish you, where fire would only consume you, but fools and children and young girls would choose fire every time.
George R. R. Martin
The sea is never weary. I must be as tireless.
George R. R. Martin
Why should death make a man truthful, or even clever? The dead are likely dull fellows, full of tedious complaints - the ground's too cold, my gravestone should be larger, why does he get more worms than I do.
George R. R. Martin
Life is not a song, sweetling. Someday you may learn that, to your sorrow.
George R. R. Martin
We only make peace with our enemies. That's why it's called making peace.
George R. R. Martin
What is dead may never die, but rises again, stronger and harder.
